He looks incredible
He comes with extra bits--a long stretchy arm, an arm with a giant hand, and a spring-shaped section you can attach instead of his legs. (Or such is the theory--there are no directions and I'm afraid to yank on him too much for fear of damaging him.) Wonderful details all around.
He's fairly posable--jointed at hip, knee, shoulders (which also rotate out) and elbow. The waist and wrists turn and the neck goes both from side to side and up and down.
So a positive review overall, tempered mainly by the obvious fact that he's primarily a collectible, not a toy--the joints are stiff at first, and the lack of instructions makes me think that no one really expects anyone to try out the extra parts.
And he's tall. He towers over any of the other figures. Well, he's Plastic Man, he can be as tall as he wants to be, but he looks like he's got at least 8 inches on Green Lantern, and that doesn't seem right. But again, no huge deal for this specific toy--however, I probably wouldn't get other toys in this series--in general--because of the height discrepancy. It's not always easy to find the scale when you're shopping, and the one place that did list it said that the Alex Ross figures were 6" in scale, which is clearly not the case for Plastic Man. I am seriously coveting Black Canary, but am not at all sure I want her if she's going to be scaled other than at 6".
